On bedtime death panic.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
I’ve just recently come to the realization of my own mortality. In the time before I fall asleep, it absolutely terrifies me thinking not about how it will end, but that it ends, period. I know you’ve given this sort of advice before, but I can’t even get past this fear to the part where you realize, “This is it, enjoy it while it lasts.” I feel trapped by the...

GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorumexplained his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape during an interview Friday, saying that women who face such circumstances should “make the best out of a bad situation.”
Asked by CNN’s Piers Morgan what he would do if his own daughter approached him, begging for an abortion after having been raped, Santorum explained that he...

All of this is true.
Poppy is still too little to sleep in our bed but I can totally see this coming a mile away
There are some contraptions that make cohabitation pretty easy at Poppy’s age. We have something called a Snuggle Nest that has worked great for us. We used it with Soleil and now we’re using it with Granger.

A small piece of ice lived in a erlenmyer flask and fell in love with a Bunsen burner.
“Bunsen! my flame! I melt whenever I see you” said the ice.
The Bunsen burner replied “It’s just a phase you’re going through”.

So … it seems that there are too many people who don’t realize that it is totally possible to be funny without also making fun of ths disabled or a certain race or sexual orientation or gender or whatever. Also I think everyone has the SADDs pretty bad today. So incoming joke spam it is!

Teach them to do it for themselves.
When our daughter was 15 months old we enrolled her in survival-type swimming lessons via Infant Swimming Resource. Maybe you’ve heard about this - children as young as 6 months old learning to roll in the water and float? (See more about ISR here).
We had a marvelous instructor who on the very first day,...

I was asked what the sign for “transgender” is, and I figured these signs aren’t really well known enough anyway, so I made a video with a few words that may be useful when discussing LGBT issues in ASL. I hope their all correct; they’re what I’ve usually seen.

Last week, I shared some racist comments from the idiots who excrete their “thoughts” onto the pages of The Athens Banner Herald’s website. In that instance, the commenters were directing their vitriol at every black human on earth in response to a fight involving about a hundred or so individuals.
This time, they’re cheering the video of American Marines urinating on...

This is a Taliban recruiter’s dream - how many Afghanis will decide to avenge this show of disrespect?
Despite the many faults of our nation, I still find it hard to believe that morons continue to videotape shit like this.

More public media Tumblrs!
npr:
We’ve gotten requests in the past for links to other public media Tumblrs. We’ve re-blogged some other people’s lists before.
Now we’ve finally built our own list of links to other public media Tumblrs you could follow.
Check it out!
Oh man, I’m going to regret clicking that link when it takes me three times as long to follow my feed tomorrow.
WatchIn this video, a cop punches a woman in the face who didn’t show any aggressive behavior on the video.
All cops may not behave like this, but they’re just as guilty for being part of a system that covers it up. Police abuse happens all the time and they almost always receive a slap on the wrist.
I know it’s a common thread within OWS discussions that the police are not the...
